Sopa de Papa y Tortillas

Sopa de Papa y Tortillas

Hearty Potato Soup with Stew Meat, served with warm tortillas

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

1–1½ lbs beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 medium onion, diced

1½ teaspoons garlic salt (adjust to taste)

5–6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

Water (enough to cover the ingredients)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Red pepper flakes or chile (optional, for heat)

Fresh tortillas or bread for serving

Instructions

Brown the Beef

In a large pot or Dutch oven, add the stew meat and cook over medium-high heat until browned on all sides.

Sauté Onions

Add the oil and diced onions to the pot. Season with garlic salt and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and fragrant.

Add Potatoes and Water

Add the diced potatoes and pour in enough water to just cover all the ingredients. Stir gently.

Season and Simmer

Add additional garlic salt (or salt and pepper to taste). Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 20–25 minutes, or longer if desired. The longer it cooks, the more the potatoes will break down and naturally thicken the broth.

Final Touches

Taste and adjust seasoning. For added heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or serve with your favorite chile on the side.

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with fresh tortillas or crusty bread.
